Who we are The AUPE FV group belongs to Local 071 Chapter 007 and includes approximately 55 members whose various core functions include administration, technical and maintenance duties at NWP’s Fairview Campus. Current Status The committees for both NWP and AUPE Fairview met on May 5 and 6, 2025. The parties were able to sign off on most of the articles to the collective agreement over these two days. NWP is pleased with the tone of the discussions so far, and with the productive discussions taking place at the table. We are hopeful that we can continue these positive discussions into our next step of bargaining dates in early June. We will continue to provide updates regarding bargaining discussions. If you have any questions, please contact Jarem Gurney, Executive Director, Human Resources. Bargaining Progress January 27 & 28, 2025 The bargaining committees for the Board and AUPE (Fairview Campus) met for collective bargaining on January 27 and 28, 2025. These were the first bargaining dates since the parties exchanged ongoing bargaining proposals. The committees discussed several issues that were brought forward. They were able to agree in principle to sign off on status quo language for several provisions in the Collective Agreement. The parties are working on identifying additional dates. Based on the tone of our discussions to date, the Board is optimistic about this bargaining process, and looks forward to our ongoing discussions with AUPE’s bargaining committee.
